Training older people is a completely different thing from teaching young people. Thailand
The trend presents many challenges for Thailand since the public healthcare system is already overburdened and private healthcare options can be unaffordable for many.As older people likely have chronic health conditions and require ongoing medical care, Panadda Leeyang, founder of a social media fitness page, noticed a new business opportunity to offer personal training for the elderly.
But one day, Panadda realised that her mum had started to suffer from a chronic disease, and that was when she decided to do something for the elderly group. As a professional trainer with certain expertise in physical education and theory who graduated with a degree in physical education from a university, Panadda understands that training the elderly is a completely different thing from teaching young people.
“I always stay focused on the physical health indicators of my elderly clients. So, we know what the main problems are, joint problems, shoulder, neck pains, and so on,” Panadda said. According to a study released by the Foundation of Thai Gerontology Research and Development Institute, as of 2021, Thailand has an estimated 12.5 million people over 60, accounting for nearly 20% of the total population.
